Milk Barn Sunrise


 

How could I resist painting a sunrise over the milk barn?  The light is fleeting this time of day, so special care must be taken to be able to strike when ready!  I watch the sky and wait for peak color, all the while I'm laying in the structure of the painting.  Horizon, barn and trees, then a few marks for the clouds as their color intensifies.  The second I see a dulling of chroma, I lay down all that's left before it all fades away.  It's like running a race with the sun!  Painting number 5088 in 5088 days.
